VS2008/C#: How do I specify separate debug and release manifests?


I've got a C# .exe that requires side-by-side deployment of a hand-built manifest. I need to use a different manifest for each of my release and debug builds.

I set my application's manifest in the Application settings. However, this seems to be Configuration independent (the Configuration selector at the top of my Application settings is grayed out with N/A as its content).

I found some tips for doing this for C++ projects, but I'm C#.

Am I missing something obvious here? Are my google skills rusty? I can't find a thing out there about how to address this for a C# project, and I can't figure out how to tweak this in Visual studio.


Solution

  • No way. THAT SAID: put in a meaningless faulty one, put in properones, use post build steps to copy them correctly. Finished.
